RITA's LXII: Painting My Age with Beauty of Thy Days.

[Puma]

Oh, for God's sake.

My mother gave me italian chicken for lunch and didn't see the cashews or something. Now I feel ill and my throat is semi-constricted...

No, I'm not going into shock.

Cashews in Italian chicken? not something I'd expect.
Mind you I am surprised by how sneaky pecans can be.

[Radioactive Zombie]

Cashews in Italian chicken? not something I'd expect.

That's probably it.

Gregh, my stomach hurts.

I dunno, if he was my son I would probably try to poison him, also.

[Paul McEnery]

Is there an authority I can submit my proposal to that I am, in fact, the first nerd in history to get a date with a cute little Spanish girl in Harlem because I was reading a Song of Ice and Fire book? I want that distinction.

We will be sending the hotness police round to her house to have words about this.

[Gilda Dent]

So I go to pick up Little Dent from the daycare center for lunch.

A perky young daycare workers says, "Reina is looking more and more like you every day!"

You could hear the exclamation point at the end.

[Paul McEnery]

If it were "Love in the Time of Cholera," I wouldn't be surprised one iota. George R.R. Martin? That's modern-day Tolkein territory, so it's nerd romcom fodder, for sure.

I think I need to carry around a copy of "Eat, Pray, Love" because every woman in the greater Metropolitan D.C. area apparently has read it and wants to live it.....

Instead of the copy of "Prey, Love, Eat" you've got in your pocket?

Probably.

[jessecuster3]

hey Jared, did you see they finally put a release date on Too Human?

[Joe Rice]

We will be sending the hotness police round to her house to have words about this.

Stern talking-to is in order.

[Radioactive Zombie]

I dunno, if he was my son I would probably try to poison him, also.

You're a horrible parent. :tongue:

[Paul McEnery]

Stern talking-to is in order.

I hope you at least ruined her for the rest of us.

[Jared_Humpherys]

hey Jared, did you see they finally put a release date on Too Human?


Yep, August. Let's see if they'll stick to it.

[jessecuster3]

Yep, August. Let's see if they'll stick to it.

Seriously! I hope its good, too, of course.

[Paul McEnery]

hey Jared, did you see they finally put a release date on Too Human?

Is it a sequel?

[Jared_Humpherys]

Is it a sequel?

Nope, though they hope to make some if it does well enough. It's a video game.

[Joe Rice]

I hope you at least ruined her for the rest of us.

After drinks on Tuesday I'm certain she'll never want another nerd.

Wait, am I bragging or making fun of myself here? Damn, I can't even tell.

[Jared_Humpherys]

Seriously! I hope its good, too, of course.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

[DoctorDoom]

Thanks, I appreciate that. :)

Here is a picture of her from the top.

And a picture of her showing tongue.



Pretty.

By the way, I can finally sleep at night.

That was interesting.

The Tudors?

God, I love that show.

Sorry, I was distracted by the sex.


Aren't you always?

you guys talking about my dysfunctional family. ;)

Sorry. :frown:

Good morning people.



And a belated howdy to you.

So Northwest owes Suzannah two plane tickets... but won't let us use them unless we pay another $300 in fees.

If anyone needs me, I'll be on the phone. Being rude.

Jerkstores.

Heh.

You people are so fucking blind.

If you came to my Comics Should Be Good forum, I'd set you straight with the truth about orphaned works.

-Brian

DOn;t speak to me about orphans! :tongue:

What? I'm just trying to open your minds! Don't make me post some pictures of dog shit!

-Brian

..... Jack? is that you?

Afternoon Ritalins....

6 straight days of work hell almost over.

I think I'm putting the "dead" in deadline.

Did I miss anything?

Lots, probably. Good luck!

Cashews in Italian chicken? not something I'd expect.
Mind you I am surprised by how sneaky pecans can be.

Almost anything can taste great with nuts.

[jessecuster3]

That's what she said!

[DoctorDoom]

Dad just let me know Grandma's in hospital. She was hit in the face with plumbing pipe at a Home Depot. She sounded okay (just spoke with her) but she's headed to the emergency room in a bit.

I'm still not sure when all of this went down, but I really hope she is as okay as she sounds.

Saw that coming.

Those seniors and their gang wars.

If that wasn't funny and if I couldn't see where that was coming from, I'm sure I would have said something along the lines of "fottere via."

[Merey]

I adore the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack. The orchestrations are fun and it introduced me to the niftiness that is Sufjan Stevens.

[Jared_Humpherys]

And that's as open as you get!

"Johnny Mneumonic" supports this.

I'm still not sure when all of this went down, but I really hope she is as okay as she sounds.

Wow. Hope she's ok.

Accident, right?

[Royal]

Those seniors and their gang wars.

Fucking hell, not Another gang to bop through

[DoctorDoom]

Wow. Hope she's ok.

Accident, right?
It was an accident.

And she's out of the hospital now, so I'm very relieved.

[Merey]

Dad just let me know Grandma's in hospital. She was hit in the face with plumbing pipe at a Home Depot.


Guess it's a day for Grandmothers in the hospital. Just got an email from my Dad informing us that my Gram had a stroke yesterday or the day before (it's unclear) and because she lives alone she drove herself to the hospital. So, I guess she still has her mobility but she's lost all of her ability to communicate. Very sad. And I feel really guilty for not going up to see her during this last year. Crap!

I'm sorry to hear. :frown:

Grandma was driven to the hospital by Grandpa, so thank god she wasn't alone (not that she could not take care of herself, but she was feeling a little dizzy from what she said).

And still watching the Tudors...

Queen Ann just !@#$ed the shit out of the King...and then asked him to kill his ex-wife and daughter with that wife. She then proceeds to go down on him.

I read the so wrong.

I'm like... she wants him to kill his ex-wife and then kill the daughter with the wife.

What the hell?:redface:

[jessecuster3]

When things are going down and you wanna pick it up
Why don't you try and do what I do
The way I know to get you out of that slump is
To listen to music that puts a smile on your face
I won't let you be down so you better start jumping
Cause you're making me ill
No one says when they grow up
They wanna be an addict well, I wouldn't have it another way
When things are going down and you wanna pick it up
Why don't you try and do what I do
I know some days you get dealt a bad hand
So listen to music that puts a smile on your face
I won't let you be down so you better start jumping
Cause you're making me ill, no one says when they grow up
They wanna be an addict well, I wouldn't have it another way
While your passing through my way give me some s-k-a
On my tonuue and in my veins, I wouldn't have it another way
I'm only telling you once I haven't told you before
That I can't stand people like you, thinking the way
I spend my time is all a shame, you say we are all the same
But when you look at us you say that could've been me
If I just followed my my dreams,
I'd rather do it now and regret it later,
Hey I wouldn't waste another day.
Why you tryin' to rule my world, see the tables slowly turn
You're the one whose wasting their time it's all a shame
But when you look at us you say that could've been me
If I just followed my my dreams,
I'd rather do it now and regret it later,
Hey I wouldn't waste another day.
Why you tryin' to rule my world, see the tables slowly turn

Positive thoughts to the four winds.

[Athena Bast]

Yep. I've said, "Damn, he's such an ass" and "I feel sorry for him" about House (and sometimes other characters) while watching the same episode. Also, "He's just selfish and doesn't care" and "He only made them think he doesn't care." The show, it plays with my emotions.

Also, after having fallen in love with Black Adder when I was younger, I find it hard to resist anything having to do with Hugh Laurie. Rowan Atkinson has let me down though, which is a damn shame because he can be awesome.

I've got an audiobook of Hugh Laurie reading "Great Expectations". I can't wait.

[Athena Bast]

I have lost my cell phone.

Pisser.

Unless I get it back, all my 300 ringtones are gone. *cries*

Um.. by 300 I mean, the movie "300".

Like my text message ringer was "Give them nothing! Take from them everything!" and my general ring was "This is where we fight. This is where they die!"

[DoctorDoom]

Cool. My research grant got extended to next year.

Which means I get to continue being paid without knowing why.

Hey!

beer money.

[Paul McEnery]

I get no such opportunities, since I'm being poked by the Buggins all the way through the show to say "that's you, that is."

I am sometimes of the same opinion, though not so often.

However, that I am always flattered by this inclines me to think that that would be me if I sorted myself out.

[Paul McEnery]

Cool. My research grant got extended to next year.

As a mathematician, "why?" is a question that should never pass your lips. Instead, there should be a large and mystifying chain of "if...then"s leading to a conclusion of so little interest that the general population will let you slide.

[Puma]

We just had someone ask us if we had a children's version of "Roots"


man, I wish it was 6:01pm.

If they're talking the video, it's accessible for a lot of kids. I think most ten-year-olds would be able to get it, maybe a bit younger.

The book, not so much.

Did their plane coming back from a meet with the Australian national team crash on a remote island? Or in an Amazon jungle? Or in a mountain range in the middle of winter? Or in the Sahara desert?

I need to know exactly where their plane crashed so that I can make the appropriate media reference.

We offered to request the title from another Branch for her and recommended that she watch the film with her kids; unfortunately she doesn't want to watch it herself so she didn't request it.

and yes, it is good that she is looking for her kids; it would just be great if it was a family experience. But that is my bias.

I recommend 'Not The Nine O'Clock News'. It's a little late 70's/early 80's topical, but that's balanced out by Pamela Stephenson being shamefully hot.

Have you checked out Jeeves and Wooster?

Perfect. PERFECT casting.

not that lost. Their program got killed at the beginning of the season by the AD. It's most likely to recoup monies after buying out the contract of one of the football coaches.

With Oregon killing the program after this year and Stanford's floating in limbo, there will not be any Div. 1 Wrestling based in the west after this year.

Big Ten is all that's left in terms of Wrestling

I didn't go myself. I had my brother pick up my stack when he went to the shop.I don't have a standing order, and my brother is 3,000 miles away.

[Joe Rice]

I'm a Tuesday/Thursday man myself, though Friday has potential.

[Elegance Liberty]

I do know. :smile:

Enjoy.
I just hope that they'll throw in 'Doll's Factory' in the eventual omnibus. I LOVE those 'extra/behind-the-scenes' stuff (and not have to pay over, like, $90USD for it, too).

[howyadoin]

Just been lookin' at the latest CBRunway entries. If I didn't think astrology was such a steaming load of bullshit, I'd be tempted to do a series of paintings based on the symbols.

[Royal]

FuckYOU Dallas!

Fuck You With A Fuck you Stick!!

Ha! The latter, such as it is.

[Joe Rice]

Although Friday I'll be getting comics at the Rocketship Drew Friedman party.

[kmeyers]

Marf. How's everyone doin' today?

Definitely not as good as Joe.

[morna]

Fuck. This is like the 3rd week in a row that I forgot to go to the comic store on Wednesday.
I went and asked Gareth to tell me what Iron Man to get. He put a shiny hardcopy of Demon in a Bottle in my hand and promptly severely undercharged me for it - I love him.
If it doesn't work out, I'm ready and available to console her.

Bonus joke: Will someone be playing "The Bear and the Maiden Fair"?

heh heh heh

also... we have beer!

[DWEarhart]

I stopped picking up comics on Wednesdays years ago. It helps that the owner and I have been friends for 'bout two decades.

Mondays are good for me. Of course, I'm pretty much the only indy collector he has. That helps too.

[Joe Rice]

Definitely not as good as Joe.

It's not all good filling the void of life!!!!

Speaking of which, time for a beer.

[morna]

Joe you're going to hurt yourself.

also, apropos of nothing ...you had a cameo in my koolest recent dream last night


there was a tiger ... and squelchy wet grass and crunchy gravel and warm sand and sea water and almost flying and dark windows.

Her skin on the ass side of the painting lacks the smoothness that the front side captures so well.

[Radioactive Zombie]

Fair to middlin'.

You?

Somewhat sick from my ER ordeal. Otherwise, I'm okay.

[Royal]

maybe she was sitting on the sand?

[kmeyers]

maybe she was sitting on the sand?
Maybe. But the smooth skin on the front side contrasts the background texture really well, and makes the figure really pop and stand out. The back side almost blends into the background texture.

Good to know. I send peace and queasiness destroyer your way.

[howyadoin]

Her skin on the ass side of the painting lacks the smoothness that the front side captures so well.The plan is to put a coat or two of self-levelling gel over the skin areas, and then add some specular highlights on top of that.

Oh, and this one's comin' along, too:

ooo I should tell you of the dream I had last night. Came gently awake at 3:00 and had to whisper wow. Another random CBRer - Joe Rice this time - made a cameo but the tiger was the kool part. It was full of sensual detail sounds and physical sensations and metaphysical one s too. Again, too as I have felt many times lately, it felt like it was delivered all at once as a package, but to remember it my brain had to pull it out to a linear form. Conscious brains have their limitations.

Quoted earlier references so I don't have to repeat myself

a) no future tense about it! Hurtin already. I know, probably should cool it.

b) AWESOME! What'd I do!!!

Disappointingly, I don't remember. But the bit I do remember goes like this: I was coming back (?) to your place and I walked over some squelchy soggy grass and peered in nyour glass window/door but it was all dark. I didn't want anyone to think I was stalking you or to be alarmed so I left immediately and walked on the path that circumnavigated your complex - it was like townhouses. That's where the crunchy gravel thing happened. I wasd walking along and there was an opening and through it was the sea and the dawn was just starting. I was feeling like I was being watched all of a sudden - not in a malevolent way just observed. I made an exquisite leap through the opening towards the sea and the dawn. It was very sensual, it felt like a well executed dive but sustained so as to almost become flight... still aware that something was watching. In mid dive I turned and saw a small tiger face and I landed with him, we tumbled on the warm sand and splashed in the sea wrassling. He was about twice the size of our cat but half the size a real teenage tiger. He was incredibly sweet and cute and lovable and we played in our delight of each other until I realized that this was not a good idea. Young tigers have dangerous parents and I had to leave him. The opening I had flown or glided through was now up a hill of semi loose dusty soil - you know like it gets above the intertidal zone, dirty and rocky rather than clean sand. I got away and woke up

I kind of figured you weren't quite finished with that part, but I had to mention it.

And this one is coming along very nicely. Looks great. I would try to give it even more depth, though.

[Radioactive Zombie]

Yikes. Is this from the cashews you ate?

Yeah, did turn out to be Cashews, according to one of the paramedics. Yeah, I'm extremely allergic to all types of nuts - granted, not "instant-death-close-your-throat" types.

My friend's nephew is allergic too. When he hangs with us we always prep special meals for him or are just really careful when looking at food labels.

Do you go through some of that?

And Morna, about hurting myself, I'm trying to be very aware of the amount I'm drinking. I know it's too much, and I know it's for not-so-good reasons, but I'm also aware enough that I hope it isn't, you know, completely awful. Thanks though.

That was what you were talking about right?

[morna]

kool dream huh? It was really lovely. Very much about physical sensation. His tiger face was just floating bodiless until we landed - this crazy stripey thing. I hated to leave him, damn me for being so sensible.

No, it's fine, you're right. This is my way that I always deal with, I guess, break-ups. I go hog wild for a while, realize it is unfulfilling, and settle down with myself for a bit. I'm just not in a good place to spend much time alone right now. And better these girls that I choose rather than the past weekends' girls introduced by friends I'm not into but I'm drinking . . .

FRIDAY: Hang out with friends from back in the day.
SATURDAY: Lunch with ex-girlfriend (probably). Comics at Rocketship. Evening of karaoke.
SUNDAY: Nurse hangover, visit family.
MONDAY - WEDNESDAY: Assorted visiting family activities, assorted hanging out with friends from back in the day.
THURSDAY: Five-plus hours of tattooing. Driving to what will only be my home for about another month and a half.

My friend's nephew is allergic too. When he hangs with us we always prep special meals for him or are just really careful when looking at food labels.

Do you go through some of that?

Not really. Most of the lunches I buy are peanut-free. This is the second time I've gotten a reaction from nuts, and we didn't know it - last time, the food server put Kung-Pao or some other food that had nuts in it into my food and my mother didn't know it until I was puking and my eyes were swollen.

This time, I didn't see the cashews until I ate the chicken. And I noticed my throat was somewhat constricted [knew it was a bad sign, because it usually does that when I've gotten into contact with peanuts of fish].

Pretty soon, my eyes swelled up, I wanted to puke and my stomach hurt, so I called my mom. She wanted me to bike home, but the office secretary and I protested [I bike a few miles every to and from school]. So, she said for them to call 911.

I balked, because they're usually shit-ass expensive, 'til they told me that my insurance covers the ride.

Mrrph... could hardly see and my nose was clogged to hell, and I had to remove the oxygen tube every few minutes to blow my nose.

You get any good recommendations from my yelp link?

Were I to boil it down to the basics (right now improv-ing)

I'd say soup dumpings at Shanghai Cafe, cupcakes at Magnolia, Lobster Rolls at Pearl Oyster, steak at Luger's (unlikely at this point), burgers at Dumont . . .and you said they weren't into sushi.

That's actually kind of what I meant. It's awesome that the background is way more thick than the rings, and comes forward, yet appears to create depth in space.

I just meant perspective-wise, it would be awesome to play that up even more and try to make the background, while coming forward more than the rings, appear to be going back in space as much as possible.

[Ed Cunard]

Wow its late. I should be heading to bed.

Me too but, as I'm living a life of leisure for the next two months or so, it doesn't matter.

Day 2 of new job.

Very odd feeling. We're located in the old building that I started at in B&N last August. The same one I helped empty. And am now filling.

I go out for a smoke and sit on the curb and look across the street, wondering how busy we are over there. And wondering how long it's gonna be before I get all this 'we' utterly confused.

Lemme tell you, though, I am gonna be spending a small fortune here. I take daily walks around the store to familiarize myself with our inventory. We don't have a database to speak of since we're dealing exclusively with remainders, returns or last year's stock, so I've decided it's necessary to know the books intimately. Shouldn't be too hard; we're not gonna do any change-outs or best sellers or company-mandated displays, which means everything is where it's gonna stay.

But during my walks, I have discovered an absolute treasure trove of books. So far I've got 2 volumes of Pratchett's Digger series, a copy --signed -- of Monstrous Regiment, 2 volumes of Shakespearian Mysteries, a book on Jack Cole, a new book by James Finn Garner, and a half dozen paperbacks. The most expensive book is $5 and we get 30% off. I've got my eye on a good dozen Dummies and Idiot's guides; those are $6 each. Plus I've seen bunches of hard covers by Preston, Mercedes, Flint's 1632 series. And there's gotta be another dozen or better of the Mammoth Book anthologies that I wanna get hold of.

I've talked to the boss about what to do with the front tables near the registers, and we're gonna alternate between employee recommendations and weekly points-of-interest. Feels really good to have my opinion valued and asked for.

I wouldn't want to eat paint anyway, it's nasty and has legumes in it.

Also, what camera is that, Howy?

[DoctorDoom]

C'mon over sometime and I'll paint you a cake.

Ooh, tempting.

Hey, there's no peanuts in my paint.

All right!

[Radioactive Zombie]

@DocAbs - Nice. What else do ya got? Being a rather large bookworm, next to spamming Wikipedia and searching up stuff...

[DWEarhart]

It's been so windy here lately, that it actually sounds like the ocean outside my window.

I'd love to be hearing that.

One of the things I appreciate is despite all of the horror movies I've seen in my days, a simple tap at the window by a windblown branch still has the capability of startling me.



Not to mention the least demanding.

And the least likely to say, "I know I said that, but what I meant was..."

Yup. But, even then, people find ways to overcomplicate things

"Now, no, not yet...Now..no..no...NOW..." and all the meaning is gone. And by meaning, I mean the orgasm is a bust, and they're just left hangin' in a sticky, worthless mess.

Have I said too much? Maybe.

[howyadoin]

Also, what camera is that, Howy?Fuji Finepix A345. 4.1 megapixels.

Nothin' special, in other words.

[DWEarhart]

That's a nice turn of phrase.

Thank you.

I like to pretend I'm good at using words. Apparently I'm fooling a lot of people. Now if I can just fool people that will give me money for it. Well, that's what technical writing's for.

I can write the hell out of shampooing instructions.

How much? I need to save up to get decent pictures for my dA account...

[howyadoin]

How much? I need to save up to get decent pictures for my dA account...I bought mine almost 3 years ago. With the camera, batteries and a recharger, a carrying case and a one-gig memory card, I think it came to 500 bucks.

I'm guessing it'd be much cheaper for a comparable camera right now, but I haven't priced them in awhile. Either way, though, count on spending about twice the cost of the actual camera once you factor in the accessories.

[DoctorDoom]

Thank you.

On the subject of Wodehouse:

I'd recommend Life with Jeeves (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Life-with-Jeeves/P-G-Wodehouse/e/9780140059021/?itm=10). A collection of 3 of the novels, most of which were adapted for the BBC series.

Once I get caught up on the Wooster and Jeeves books, I plan on seeking out the rest of his works. I've got the Plot that Thickened (http://www.amazon.com/plot-that-thickened-P-Wodehouse/dp/0816161860) (Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Pearls-Girls-and-Monty-Bodkin/P-G-Wodehouse/e/9780880292788/?tabname=custreview)) and that was my first foray into Wodehouse.

Also found a copy of Scream for Jeeve (http://www.amazon.com/Scream-Jeeves-Peter-H-Cannon/dp/0940884607)s, a parody of Wooster and Jeeves combining Wodehouse, Lovecraft and Doyle. I can't wait to tuck into this one.

[howyadoin]

Do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't wanna be your slave

Twenty four hours a day
Hey, why don't you go down to the supermarket
Get something to eat, steal something of the shelves
Pass by the liquor store
Be back about quarter to twelve

Don't want to be your slave
Baby go, baby go, baby go
Do it yeah

I'm totally thankful that there are no trees near my window, or that kind of thing would scare the shit out of me.

I don't need some Poltergeist tree scratching at my window waiting to eat me.

@DocAbs - Nice. What else do ya got? Being a rather large bookworm, next to spamming Wikipedia and searching up stuff...

Depends on what you're looking for. We don't really have a website to speak of; the company that supplies our books does, but I don't have the address yet. I don't know if we do shipping, either.

Might be something to consider, though.

For me, I mean. I wouldn't be stealing books or anything, just providing shipping.

Mr. Downningtown calls. Work to be done. Words to be written.

G'night all.

[morna]

They unlock a certain felicity; some type of unkempt joy that only the rain can cleanse and turn into pure joy.

I don't know. But they're great.

how poetic! I love 'em too. sadly we almost never get them here. sigh

[howyadoin]

I want it!Don't I know it.

[Chris Nowlin]

Underage is never good.

Well, too young to drink.

[Chris Nowlin]

Getting her drunk enough to have sex.

Never been able to get a girl that drunk.

And really, I got this girl pretty drunk last night.

She's a comparative lightweight, it turns out.

Didn't expect that of a small asian girl.

[kmeyers]

Well, too young to drink.

Oh, well get the lady a fake I.D. then.

You Fool! Hahahaha....

Paint it.

mmmm..

wanna see a little food porn? we had a very delicious dinner featuring a very seasonal treat... ?

[howyadoin]

Paint it.I think too much time has gone by, and the feelings just aren't there anymore.

For some reason I read "treat" as "bat".

Indeed. The Digital Cam I have is only good for taking pictures of friends and family, not so much for landscape and detail.

In any case, I'm gone for the night, kids.

[Ben Morgan]

A seasonal bat?

[Josh S]

A seasonal bat?

I didn't see "seasonal". I tend to skim posts that are more than three or four words.
